KING: Any doubt that your friend will be the next mayor?
AXELROD: I think he's going to be the next mayor. You know, Chicago is a town that appreciates kind of strength, larger-than-life characters, can do people. And that's who Rahm is. Rahm is a guy who - I always say, he's like a heat-seeking missile. Whatever he puts his mind to, he gets done.
And you need that kind of leadership in a big city today. So I think people recognize that, and he's going to do very well whether he does it in one election or two. We'll find out tonight. But I'm very confident he's going to be the next mayor.

Did Axelholerod actually say “Rahm is gay”?!
I thought the headline read “Rahm is a gay’ for a minute.
You sure about that, Axe?
That's how desperate the world markets are for any kind of good news ~ and you gotta' be careful here since "good" is very relative, it could have been Carol Mosley Braun!
That'd sent everything to the bottom in a heartbeat.
The Chicoms and their running dog lackeys will get over it by Friday I am sure.
A gay ballerina guy? How could that be?
Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Will there be a special "Hizzoner" bench in the sauna?
Oops, I guess that was poorly worded too.
